Speaking to NewsX he said, “The issues are very clear about what kind of Prime Minister the country needs, and today, the people of Haryana will decide what kind of Prime Minister they want. I have no doubt that under the respected leadership of PM Modi, the BJP will form the government for the third time with an overwhelming majority, and Modi Ji will become PM for the third time.”
Then speaking about the challenge that the voters face amid heatstroke he was asked, “Due to the heat, people are unable to come out of their houses. What would you like to appeal to them?”
He added his answer, “It’s true that the heat is intense, and perhaps we haven’t seen such heat in any previous elections. But the enthusiasm among people is strong, and they will definitely come out to exercise their fundamental right and fulfill their duty—I firmly believe this. Through you, I would like to appeal, ‘Vote first, then refreshment.’ First, cast your vote, then attend to any other tasks, because voting is not only your fundamental right but also your responsibility.”
